Pros

Smart, driven colleagues and great office leader. Great office culture and freedom to drive your own career. Lots of diversity regarding types of clients and projects. Within the offices, hierarchy is generally flat and junior employees have access to senior consultants. Junior staff has a strong voice in driving office culture.

Cons

Leadership (executives at Mercer) are out of touch with lines of business and local offices. Lots of rebranding and reorganizing that doesn't make sense or positively impact the business. Compensation could be more competitive. Technology needs to be better.

Pros

Remote flexibility, which is nice.

Cons

You will not get a raise and if you do, it'll be 1%. Managers will not help you with escalating issues, you're on your own. It'll be blamed on you. You'll work so much overtime you won't have a social life.
